I beg your pardon. What do you mean by all the features?

I think he means some HT or hint instructions, that were (iirc) introduced in the P4.

Thanks! yes. that's what i meant.

The flat assembler is a fast and efficient self-assembling 80x86 assembler for DOS, Windows and Linux. It supports all 8086-80486/Pentium instructions with MMX, SSE, SSE2 and 3DNow! extensions, can produce output in binary, MZ, PE or COFF format. Has the advanced but easy to use macroinstruction support and does multiple quick passes to optimize the code for size. It is self-compilable and the full source code is included.

still, it's sounds unclear to me.

if i understood FASM totally, i think i can help FASM, but not now.

SSE2 is a PIV extension of IA-32 architecture instructions.

Does FASM support any mnemonics for jcc hints (prefix 2E not taken and 3E taken, P4+ feature) and PNI (Prescott new instructions)?

Intel haven't defined any menmonics for the branch hints, and so there are none in fasm - but as they share the same opcodes as the segment prefixes, you can define your own mnemonics (any variant you prefer) like:

Code:

ut equ cs ; "unlikely taken" jump
lt equ ds ; "likely taken" jump

and use them like:

Code:

ut jne error

And about PNI - they are not the part of the PIV specification (at least not in the books I've got from the Intel), it seems that it's something really new. Thank for pointing it out to me - I'll have to work on encoding them in the next version of fasm.
